The World Series of Fighting will debut in the Sunshine State on
Oct. 26, when the organization holds WSOF
6 at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla.

The event airs live on NBC Sports Network and is headlined by a
welterweight title showdown between Josh Burkman
and Steve
Carl. The event will also showcase a bantamweight co-headliner
pitting Carson Beebe
against Marlon
Moraes, while Justin
Gaethje and Dan Lauzon
square off at 155 pounds. The WSOF 6 undercard will stream live and
free of charge on Sherdog.com.

Burkman has been on a tear since departing the UFC in 2008, winning
eight of his last nine fights and picking up victories over the
likes of Gerald
Harris, Jordan Smith
and Aaron
Simpson. “The People’s Warrior” last competed on June 14, when
he avenged a 2006 defeat to Jon Fitch by
putting the former top-five talent to sleep with a guillotine choke
just 41 seconds into their WSOF 3 meeting.

Carl, meanwhile, has finished his last six opponents by submission,
tapping his last four foes with rear-naked chokes. The 28-year-old
debuted with the WSOF last year, finishing Ramico
Blackmon at the promotion’s debut event before doing the same
to Canadian talent Tyson Steele
at WSOF 3 this past June.
